iBeacon and HCI in Special Education: Micro-Location Based Augmentative and Alternative Communication for Children with Intellectual Disabilities. |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
Daily communication is essential for everyone, including people with communication difficulties. While a number of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) technologies have been developed for users with complex communication needs, their usage still remains a challenge for those with cognitive impairments. This extended abstract presents our work in AAC for non-verbal students with intellectual disabilities. We enhance existing AAC solutions with iBeacon-based ranging and micro-location detection capabilities to reduce user's cognitive load when interacting with the user interface. Our system has been piloted in a special education school for students with moderate intellectual disability. We report our contextual field studies, system design, and implementation experience; and hope to engender further discussions on HCI in special education.
